24 alternatives to VR.dev – a developer network for VR/XR/AR devs
I built vr.dev as a lightweight network for people in the VR, XR, and AR development community to showcase demos, promote themselves, and find collaborators. It’s early, but usable for portfolios and discovery. Example profile: https://vr.dev/erik What’s live now: - Profiles with vr.dev/[username] URLs - Showcase a .glTF file - Resume/experience with industry-specific signals What’s coming: - Options for more showcases and supported asset types - Advanced searching on experience and skills - Closer integration with GitHub - Better discovery I’d love feedback on what…

21st.dev▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!

display.dev▲183Last week's post from Thariq "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML" went viral in X. He made a good point about HTML being the more expressive and human friendly alternative to markdown files. I completely buy in where he's coming from, I've been asking Claude Code to create me HTML files to better understand what we're planning and building together. What Thariq didn't address was the part of sharing and collaborating on these HTML artifacts (he proposed uploading to S3). While I've been heavy user of HTML artifacts to share quarterly plans, implementation specs, technical guides and…

I think it's finally time to lock version 0.2 of my 4d side project. (Since previous Show HN a couple of years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37100760 I scrapped lots of stuff and concentrated on making a javascript "game engine") The sole purpose of this project is to explore whether it's possible to make the human brain spatially aware of four dimensions using Virtual Reality. It’s my first ever game project, my first time using Unity, first time writing C#, and my first anything with WebXR, so please be gentle! To manage expectations, it isn't visually pleasing…

Hi HN! I’m launching portfolio.dev — a platform for developers, designers, freelancers, and PMs to create portfolios that tell the full story behind projects , not just display work. As a developer myself, I know how hard it is to present projects that show real value. portfolio.dev offers a clean URL (portfolio.dev/u/username), perfect for GitHub, LinkedIn, and resumes . Pro plan: $5/month or $50/year (US payments only), with unlimited projects, detailed analytics , and priority support . Would love feedback or questions from this amazing community!

In the last few years I've been doing a lot of technical writing, both for my own programming blog and others, and I've noticed there is a lack of good tools for this kind of writing. Whether that was a programming blog post or documentation, I always had to move back an forth between different editors, and sometimes even other apps for content management and the actual content publication. A lot of copy-pasting, and wasted time. Based on this experience I decided to try and build a tool that could provide a good experience for this kind of content from writing to publishing. This (I call it…

Transfer Thought is a No-Code platform that makes it so anyone can build VR apps directly in their browser. We started this company part-time, building it during commutes to and from work on the train. Over the last 5 years, we've experienced many ups and downs: - Gained early customers - Quit our day jobs - Secured angel funding - Survived with a short runway - Accepted into Techstars Chicago - Survived with a short runway (again) - Landed our biggest client ever, a Fortune 100 company - Despite our highest revenue, our burn rate caught up to us We looked at different ways to wind down the…
